boaterboy Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Firstly, please excuse my lack of knowledge wrt component names. My TD5 is leaking (small, regular drip) fuel from high up on the rear of the engine about in line with the bell housing. The leak is only present when the engine is running. Someone more knowledgeable than me says it is from a unit/component at the end of a fuel feed pipe on the driver / offside of the engine. Apparently, the pipe runs along the side of the engine at about cylinder head level and the leak is likely to be coming from a position to the rear of the engine - which would tie in with the drip being off the bottom of the bell housing. Can someone please help me identify more precisely the root of the problem in order that I can get it fixed? Thank you so much in anticipation.
